Unlikely: Only 8% of pineal cysts enlarge and cause symptoms which are usually signs of increased intracranial pressure, not seizures. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Cyst coincidental: The cyst does not cause your seizures which seem of complex partial character. Looked at your meds, and am perplexed why you are not taking an anti-epileptic drug, which is very much needed to control your spells. Do you have a neurologist? Leave the cyst alone, currently and concentrate on stopping the spells.
